Re: UV Tips and tricks?
@AtlusZMH: it depends on how the engine streams the textures - and if it supports it. Otherwise you could look up or calculate the maximum texture space that is available in the scene. From that texture size substract weapon, gui and other regular stuff + take spec/ normal and difuse maps into account. I have seen some… -
Re: someguns
The yellow jacket is rather unappealing in first person view. The big cylinder right in your face just isn't attractive and hides the rest of the weapon. It's well modeled, but keep in mind when designing first person things that flow is essential, and it has to look good from first person and not just a 3/4 view. Perhaps… -
Re: ATI Rendermonkey -vs- NVIDIA fx composer
Ah yes I have looked at it. They used it for dead rising there is a cool video up about how they integrated it into their pipeline. It used to come bundled for free with something...

Re: UV Workflow / Max 8
Pelt Mapping came with Max8 and I love it. I'll say it again in case you are hard of reading, PELT MAPPING. Google it, look it up in the help/tutorials Docs that come with Max (F1). Once you get the simple work flow down it saves hours of time. Being able to draw your seams down edges instead of cleaning up seams by… -
Re: Interested a career change, maybe teaching
Having worked as a tutor (adobe applications, mainly PS, AI, ID) - it's not a teacher i know, but it's close enough.

Re: Do any of you professionals rate Paul Steed?
Not a professional, but I'm sure as many have stated that techniques in the first book are pretty outdated. As far as Mr Steed's work goes, I think it has to be judged by it's time of release, obviously. The Quake 2 models were exceptionally well done for 1997. Quake 3 models vary on quality, IMHO, but this is mostly in… -
Re: UT3 Environment inspired by WAR
hey there, sorry if the explanation aint up to much, forums and beer... im nt sure if UT3 can use this technique so it may be redundant, but basically your using max, in the maps menu(the render mapping not nessecrily the realtime depending on the shader), there will be tiling options (a number) if you make that 2 in both… -

Re: Autodesk Maya 2019 on Red Hat Linux? Anyone?
I found out what it was, something to do with the gnome desktop that comes with red hat system linuxes like CentOS and Red Hat was not working with my motherboard at all. I switched to a KDE Plasma desktop when I installed CentOS and did not install any of the gnome dev tools or anything to do with gnome as instructed by… -
